Chapter VII: Breaking of Dawn
THE LOGBOOK OF PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA
22 YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE CLONE WARS
Today started out normal, I was helping loading supplies into a transport so we can move to our new base, on Hoth, when Luke came saying there was message that I should check out.
"Who sent it?" I asked him curiously as I followed to the communications room.
"It was from someone named She-Ra, she claimed your father was a friend of someone she knows named Princess Adora," he explained as he brought up the message.
I listened to the message, according to this She-Ra, her world had been invaded by the Empire and her people were suffering, but I wasn't sure about this message, since such messages had been used in past to track an enemy's location, but something inside me told me she was telling the truth.
I turned around to ask Luke what he thought about it, when I saw he had his eyes closed, "Luke you okay?" I asked him fearing he might be sick.
"No, Leia, I'm fine, this may sound weird, but I had a strange feeling about this message," he explained as he came back with a start.
"What type of feeling, like she's lying?" I asked him, I knew Luke was training to be, or was training until General Kenobi was killed, a Jedi and intuition is a Jedi trait and that he might be able to pick something up about the message.
"No, like she's telling the truth, her people need help, and I am sure if your father was here he would want you to help her," he said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"You're right Luke, but there is still one problem how to get to her, she's not only in another planet but in another galaxy," I said as I triangulated where this She-Ra's planet was located.
"904? That's the same coordinates as the Eta Kaleeta blackhole in this galaxy," Luke said as placed his hand on his chin and studied the coordinates.
"Yeah, they're the same as EK so what?" I asked him, curious as to what he was planning, EK was a stellar mass black hole that makes flight in that sector dangerous.
"I'm betting EK isn't a blackhole but a wormhole, think of it Leia, all known star charts that have come from the time that EK was supposed to have died, never mention any dying stars, just that a 'Class B Stellar Mass vortex' appeared, it sounds more like a wormhole formed and I'll bet that it leads straight to She-Ra's planet," he said with a smile on his face.
"But what if you're wrong, taking the alliance fleet into a blackhole would be suicide not mention hurt the Alliance," I told him worriedly, I did want to help this She-Ra but not at the chance of destroying all that we worked for.
"Trust me, Leia this has to work, you trusted my instincts before, so trust me this time," he told me as he looked into my eyes, I could see the trust he had in his plan and it assured me that he knew what he was doing.
"I'll go tell the fleet to set course for the Eta Kaleeta graveyard system," I said as I got up and left the room, may the Force be with us on this mission.
PRINCESS ADORA'S DIARY
FIFTH DAY IN THE FIFTH YEAR OF THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA
Most of Etheria is in ruins now, Vader came back a few minutes ago and offered me another chance to join him and again I refused and to persuade me to reconsider, he ordered his forces to destroy the other kingdoms leaving no one alive.
However this time, I had the unfortunate pleasure of having Angella and Glimmer in the cell with me as Vader played back the holographic footage of the attacks.
I could see the horror on Angella's face as Gailsbreath, Aquatia, and Mysticore were leveled and placed under Imperial control, I can only hope Vader's forces do not locate the Crystal Castle.
While I sat pondering our fate, Glimmer crawled over to me, "She-Ra, what's going to happen now that Etheria's fallen?" she asked as me, she was scared and to tell the truth so was I.
"I don't know Glimmer, the only solace we can have is that Vader has ousted Hordak, but I don't think that happened, what little reports I have heard say that Hordak is fighting beside Vader, but we can't lose hope, " I told her as I comforted her.
I hope my message reached Senator Organa and he's agreed to help us, it's our only hope that we will survive.
THE LOGBOOK OF PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA
22 YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE CLONE WARS
The fleet has arrived at the EK blackhole, the first step in our journey to help the mysterious woman calling herself She-Ra and freeing her world from the Empire.
This was an awful gamble, and if it fails we're doomed.
I looked at out the frigate's port at the massive vortex, light and matter swirled around the Event Horizon like a dazzling firework's display.
I was memorized by the show, so much so that I did not hear Luke come in and say, "Leia."
"Oh, Luke, I'm sorry I was daydreaming," I said startled as I turned to look at him, he too had the same worried expression that I have, but it was tempered by confidence, already the wisdom of General Kenobi shines in him, even though I did not know the man, he was a close friend of my father's and he always spoke highly of him and told me 'you could his wisdom shine like a beacon,' and I can see that same light in Luke.
"I wanted to tell you that the navigators reported that if EK is wormhole we will come out at coordinates 904 in She-Ra's galaxy," he told me with a smile, "they also said the trip will be take only a few seconds to a few minutes to arrive once we enter the vortex," he continued showing me a read out of the findings.
I looked at him and said, "Are you sure about this?"
"Trust me Leia, I have a feeling this is going to work," he said, as he turned to hear the announcement that fleet was about to jump into Hyperspace.
"I trust you," I told him as he left the room and turned to watch the stars streak as we went into to Hyperspace, zoomed into the wormhole and began our journey to save this She-Ra.
